The musician shares her love for THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT and its decadent drama, praises Nicole Kidman’s hilariously psychotic performance in TO DIE FOR, and talks about the intimate dream state of BRAND UPON THE BRAIN!

“To Die For” is one of those quintessential 90’s indie-boom movies that is so subversive and yet so expertly made that it’s hard to imagine anything like it being made today.

@saintsalieri Ай бұрын

I just watched it after it's recent release and it felt a bit tame and obvious.

@avedic 21 күн бұрын

I'll have to check it out. I'm a HUGE Gregg Araki fan.....The Doom Generation and Nowhere are perfect. There's something I love about a certain time of indie subversive weirdo movies from the 90s.... I've never even heard of To Die For tho.

@ejparas8492 Ай бұрын

did y’all listen to “all born screaming” yet? it’s amazing! I think my favorite St. Vincent album now, that first listen just gobsmacked me. not surprising in the slightest that Annie Clark is a cinephile with taste and has such distinct stories & connections with film

@NickPiers Ай бұрын

I feel like everyone who visits the closet should do one pick like she did at the end. Just spin around and point to a random film on the shelf and take it. Let random chance pick just one movie for you. What a genuinely great idea.

@NickPiers Ай бұрын

So, I'll be honest. I'm not big into music, so I'd never hear of St Vincent until this video. But now I'm watching music videos on her channel and goddamn, I'm digging it.

I get it, but I'm glad she chose Guy Maddin.

@Leo-sd3jt Ай бұрын

That's probably why since she was taking stuff that she didn't already have. If she's a big fan of Lynch then it stands to reason that she probably already owns his stuff. Especially if she used to shop at Kim's back when it was still on St. Mark's Place.

@caseyaulbach7693 Ай бұрын

These videos are condensed heavily. I have noticed in several closet videos that the person choosing will have 2-3 films in their hand that they didn't talk about. Criterion probably does it for accessibility which is a shame because I would happily watch 30+ minute Criterion haul videos.

Chantal Akerman : very french choice indeed 😁 Some reviewers consider "Jeanne Dielman" as the best movie ever made. Far from the US aesthetic. Very "Nouvelle Vague". Very 'unanimated'. Some say "very political". I'm sure a brilliant mind like St. Vincent will find something out of it. So great choice.
